Hodgdon's Reloading Data Center

[GoblinXIV]

It was working late lastnight, I sure hope its just down for maintance, I had to make a place for my laptop on my reloading bench just for this site.

Huh, gettin' the same problem here. Surely if they'd decided to close it down they would've made it obvious on the main page, before agreeing to their disclaimer?

You can still click on the data link at the top of the home page and access the download data option. Looks like same data, different format.

With Hodgdon now owning IMR and distributing Winchester powders they have produced a great website combining the data from all three companies.

Go Here to see it.

Great site (Hodgdons powder) Thanks

Great Sticky

 

[just having some fun]

I worked through the Hodgdson site for 9mm & 147 gr FMJ. It lists a powder called WSF. Is there another name/number for this powder. Was unable to locate it on the Winchester site.

Full name for WSF Winchester Super Field good for some shotgun and some handgun loads at higher Velocities. but check load data for your application / pressure can get high in full loads

Looks great. And the print-out function works terrific. Better than Nosler's!

Just as an info adder, one can also look at the ADI site for all "Extreme Powders" sold by Hodgdon;

http://www.adi-limited.com/handloaders-guide/

They are those who pressure-tested all the said loads using their powders.

For ADI equivalents powders, see;

lighter bullets can be pushed harder/faster than heavier bullets without exceeding the max pressure. Don't you try to find the top limits--just follow the book.

I sent them a thank you. They never had any data for the 52gr .223 though but that's OK. I will probably move up in bullet weight and not down. This is kind of off topic but...why is it the lighter bullets use more powder than the heavier ones?

I think is all to do with the pressures but I'm new and could be wrong. A bigger bullet takes more to make it move so if you use too much powder it exceeds the max. permissible pressure before the bullet is on the move. The only thing that stops any case from experiencing too much pressure is the fact that the bullet does what it should and allows the expanding gases to escape down the barrel. A lighter bullet moves sooner and more quickly allowing the pressure to escape more quickly therefore allowing more powder to be used.
